05/10/08 morning Grass report

Boatjob1 · 05-10-2008, 02:46 PM

Hello all. After getting back into town early this morning, weighed my options, (yard work / fishing,,,,,,,,, yard work / fishing), well hereare the results.

Got outon the flat's about 6:30 am for some relaxing wade fishing. South West wind8 to 14 (on and off gust), water fairly clear with a stained tint, cold at first, but got used to it real quick. Tied on a underwater mirrolure because of the wind and chop. Walked for miles, no complaints only 3 fish but it was beautiful out there. I only usually keep just enough to blacken for two soI onlyhad tokeep one this trip. A real beauty of a Trout (see pictures), 24"and full of light tackle drag pulling........ I feel so lucky to be able to have all of this within a few miles and again it beets the hell out of yard work (sorry neighbors, I'll get to it Monday). Tight lines all and good luck this w/e. T

Now all you need is $300.00 + 1 Flounder + 1 Redfish = BLAZER BAY!!!! Justwrite it off on next years taxes. Not bad for a want-a-be fisherman, it could have been a little bigger... but I guess it will have to do!!! It's about time you came out of the closet and wet a line. More practice time with less women around and they will get bigger!!!!

SEE YA AT THE FISHING HOLE!!!!!

Yea, I got out there, maybe a little early, but the water's real clear and you could see the potholes easily. I feel lucky too, to have enjoyed the thrill of wading in the grass at day break. You see where I was, where were you?

Thanks for the wade fishing report. I also appreciate you posting that youtube video. It got me to thinking about some other guitarists that are still cranking out great music. David Gilmour {pink floyd} and mark knopfler {dire straits} have a lot of neat stuff worth checking out on youtube.

Thanks for the great comments guys, and for you Ken, my brother from another Mother, that is not a small cooler, that fish is sitting in 1/2 of my kitchen sink, 24" trust me...... And yeah, your right, It's time to figure out how to get outta the office a little more and put some of the lady's on hold for a bit. Will have to make it up to em when the weather cools off........... Thanks again guys, T

PS I was at the other end of Pensacola, down near the state park (at Bower Road and Old Gulf Beach Highway). There is some nice grass east of the boat ramp, and some holes..........

PSS Trower, what can I say. I cut my teeth on him 31 years ago and have been a HUGE fan ever since. Seen him 8 times, and met him on his 2001 tour when he was at the House of Blues in New Orleans. Even checked out the "Bridge of Sighs" while in Venice Italy. I could go on for hours about him and the other two you mentioned.... What's that old saying about "they don't make them like they used to".
